Question: Suppose a character has Desolidification. He gets shot at, and for defense he desolidifies. Can he just expend 1 END for it, or is there a minimum of 8 END?

Since desolidification has a minimum requirement of 40 active points, it also has a minimum requirement of 8 END per phase. This END cost is lower, of course, if the above character purchased his desolid with the reduced END modifier. It should also be mentioned that once the END cost (8) is spent, the above character can remain desolid until his next phase. This occurs even if the character aborted his next action to become desolid. Marc Blumberg AT&T Bell Laboratories ihnp4!ihuxw!blumberg
